This exciting live show was recorded at London's famed Garage in mid-2002, and features songs from all aspects of the Fall's career up to that point, heavy on numbers from ARE YOU ARE (sic) MISSING WINNER. As always, Mark E. Smith manages to be simultaneously both deadpan and intense. The 2007 release has an accompanying DVD of the same show.
Tracklist
Fall
A crucial inspiration to several generations of bands, the Fall virtually defined the late-1970s UK post-punk sound. Fall vocalist Mark E. Smith's sung/spoken rants may owe more to beat poetry than rock & roll, but his sociopolitical iconoclasm and the band's angular, cutting riffs and rhythms placed them squarely at the forefront of Britain's first major post-Pistols musical movement. In the '80s, their rough, guitar-based sounded expanded with the introduction of keyboards and more sophisticated production (largely due to the arrival of Smith's wife Brix as a band member), and personnel came and went, but Smith kept his ragtag rock army soldiering on all the way into the 21st century.
